In the southern part of giant
continent Asia there lies rectangular tiny kingdom
squeezed between two huge populated countries China
on the north and India on the south, is the country
called Nepal-the world of its own.
The land of contrast is ostensibly the exact way to
define the topography of Nepal for you will find
maximum world’s topmost highest peaks soaring high
up

a abode. Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga,
Daulagiri, and Annapurna and many more are there to
the mountain-lovers and adventurers.
No wonder after viewing the panoramic views of
everlasting snow-covered mountain ranges if you find
yourself not far below (within a day’s distance)
busy taking close-up photos of Royal Bengal Tigress
prowling in the dense tropical forest along with
one-horn Rhinos, Gharials, Crocodiles, and many
endangered vertebrate mammals and reptiles amidst
the friendly people of natives that is consist of
colorful 36 ethnic groups.
Thus it is not unusual to bask round the snowy peaks
in the early morning and take warm shower under
tropical sun with distance cover by your own on-foot
journey within a day. Also the land is blessed with
everlasting peace and tranquility. So for the reason
Lord Buddha was born here. According to Hindu relic
(Ramayana) Sita (wife of King Ram) was also born in
this particular place. These ancient and medieval
relics are still well preserved and full of lives.
When you witness, every wall speaks itself. That is
why many visitors can’t help themselves gasping, and
trying hard to retake a gulf of air to gulp down as
the breathtaking views almost took their breath. |
